Resorting to Revenge: A Dear Red Game Review

Hey there folks, its me! After days or weeks of the 2nd semester finals, I finally have time to write here again! Although I still have 2 more exams left, and knowing my affinity to games, I surely still have some games that I can review here! So lets get down to it now.


Dear Red is a good old horror RPG games (I actually think that this game was made with an RPG maker) available to be played in mobile phones and PC. The game was developed by Sang Hendrix and was released back in November 2015. it weighs less then 30 MB, so I think it can be played by most phones nowadays. Now, let's get into the game!

The Story

The game tells a story of a woman, named Red, who is shown making her way in a forest. At the start, we will arrive at a house in the middle of the forest. Here, we are told of her motivation, it is revenge that brought her here. Apparently, the occupant of the house is someone she believes to have murdered her mother back when she was little. It took her long to learn the truth and its only after her father's death that she decided to take on this quest of vengeance.  It is in this trip of her, that she would uncover many things, the truth of her past, the murderer's identity, and the validity of her reason. 

The Gameplay

Dear Red's gameplay follows the usual horror RPG games, that being point & click mechanic and its multiple endings, minus the puzzles. For the mechanic, we'll be playing the usual touch and interact (point & click) mechanism, where each item you interact with will show a pop up box containing its description. For the multiple ending aspect, this game takes it to a new level. There are a lot of endings to this game, but worry not, to obtain them it won't take too much time as this game is surprisingly quick to complete. Hell, even some ending can be achieved in less the 5 minutes. So yeah, it sure contains a quick playing experience. 

Overall Thought

Just like my other opinions on horror RPG games, I really like this game. The premise it has is really good and how they manage to expand the story to a lot of endings is just great! Despite its short playing time, I still find the game enjoyable to play. The theme is fine as far as the game goes and the design (as it follows the typical horror RPG) is fine too. My score for this game is gonna be a 8.5/10. So go head to the play store or Steam to install it and go treat yourself for an excellent game and story. As for Sang Hendrix, keep it up! Can't wait for your next and bigger projects!
